y = 8 -2x
x + 2 (8 - 2x) = 1
x + 16 - 4x = 1
x - 4x = -15
-3x = -15
x = 5
If x = 5, then we can substitute in...
5 + 2y = 1
2y = -4
y = -2
Now let us check that by substituting those values in to the equation
2x + y = 8
2 (5) + (-2) = 8
That is correct so we have the right values for x and y/
The probability from 1.5 ≤ x ≤ 3 can be calculated by dividing the Area from x=1.5 to x=3 by the total Area of the distribution.
The given distribution is rectangular shaped, so its Area will be = Length x Width = 1 x 3 = 3 square units
From x = 1.5 to x = 3, the length is 1.5 and width is 1. So the area between these two intervals = 1.5 square units.
Thus, <span>P(1.5 ≤ X ≤ 3) = 1.5/3 = 0.5

I believe they compare because both butterflies can have a wingspan of 3.5 in. Hope this helps
6 · e^(4x - 2) = 3
e^(4x - 2) = .5
ln e^(4x - 2) = ln (.5)
4x - 2 = ln (.5)
4x = ln (.5) + 2
x = (ln (.5) + 2)/4
x = 0.3267
x ≈ 0.327
Answer: B
